The answers to this riddle should be sought at once in several planes. Firstly, it may be a joke question. Then the answer is simple.
You will have to sweat a little more, figuring out what the meanings of the word “nothing” exist.
The most difficult answers will be formulated if you call for help philosophy and physics.
No need to complicate
Without which nothing ever happens? The simplest answer is at the same time the shortest and sounds like this: “Without“ neither ”. If you make a morphemic analysis of the word "nothing", then "neither" in it will be a prefix. But without it, a different set of letters with a different meaning will turn out.
Many other puzzles are based on this feature of the language. Here are some examples:
Set aside all things for a minute
And tell me, why is a duck swimming? ( Answer: by water).
And why did the old hunter have a gun? ( Answer: over the shoulder).
Why do we rarely go, but always go? ( Answer: on the stairs).
Why, tell me, is a doggie running around? ( Answer: on the ground).
I ask for an answer to each question.
It is important here that the preposition in case forms “for what” and “why”, when pronouncing, merges with the word. Thus, the question becomes tricky. The guesser is forced to look for a complex reason instead of giving a simple answer.
When there is nothing to appreciate
For connoisseurs of the Russian language, such a moment will also be interesting in connection with the riddle "without which there is never anything."
The point here again is the same sounding of words from different parts of speech. So, if in this statement we consider “nothing” as an adverb, then it expresses an assessment (moderate positive). Its synonyms are as follows:
- tolerant;
- passable;
- More or less;
- you can live;
- pretty good.
In this case, how to answer the question “without which there is never anything”? Apparently, without the subject of evaluation, which can be indicated by the considered adverb. That is, for example, without life or without sensation. You can come up with many more answer options.
No consent is not found
Another meaning is the word “nothing” when it is a particle. It either denotes something as absolutely immaterial, or expresses:
- Adoption;
- assumption;
- consent.
“Okay,” “let it go” - these are the words that can replace this particle. For example: I lost money. Nothing, it’s money!
In this case, the question "without which there is never anything" can be answered by calling any of the indicated values.
Through philosophy
And finally, the case when they ask, bearing in mind the form of the genitive case of the singular pronoun "nothing."
If you mean the figurative meaning of a word when they call someone or something that does not represent meaning, it is easy to answer the riddle “without which there is never anything”.
Something like this: "without any insignificant subject or object."
But if "nothing" is used as a category from the field of philosophy, then here for lovers of wisdom opens a huge field for exercises.
Here it denies both essence and being. And this “nothing” exists only in language, since it is not present anywhere else. But a person is able to relate to any manifestation of being from a negative position. That is why the answer to the question "without which there is never anything" from a philosophical point of view sounds: "without a man."
I also heard when, for example, the following options are offered as a guess:
In all of them, too, there is a grain of truth. Similar questions make the gyrus move in search of truth, which, it turns out, may not be one. And this in itself is useful.
